We were waiting for Finn's passport for nearly a week even though dad asked to have it expressed through the system. He tried to take his own photo for the passport and then print it himself in order to save a few dollars, only to have the photo rejected and then had to send in another photo and pay someone to take a photo and delay the process even more.
The passport finally came on Tuesday and then he had to contact Indonesia to ask for a letter of invitation so we could get a visa - unfortunately we had internet problems so the letter didn't arrive by the time dad had to leave for Sydney. So on Wednesday he drove to Sydney, got the tax done and waited for the letter. Unfortunately the only day we were in a hurry the man who had to sign the letter was late coming into the office so it didn't happen that day.
Finally, on Wednesday night the letter came and was printed (thanks Ro and Neil) and dad made another mission to the consulate in Sydney to try to get the visa processed. Although we found another small point of stress as it takes 5 working days to process a visa in Sydney (it takes only 3 in Singapore) which means that our passport will be completed on Wednesday morning and we are flying out Wednesday afternoon... We are trusting and waiting that we will get on the plane...
And then there is the story of the tickets... which we have had some problems with organising them although we thought that they were all done, but we have them now and we are beginning to pack bags which is fun! I have been given so many toys and books that we will struggle to fit them all in!
